Aussie battery breakthrough: Ultra fast-charging lithium-sulphur tech

A team of scientists at Australia’s Monash University have achieved a breakthrough in developing an ultra-fast charging lithium-sulphur (Li-S) battery that is poised to power everything from long-haul electric vehicles (EVs) to commercial drones.

This game-changing technology, detailed in a recent publication in ‘Advanced Energy Materials’, could also pave the way for electric aircraft in the future.

For years, lithium-sulphur batteries have been hampered by their slow charging times, making them commercially unviable. However, the Monash team overcame this challenge.
